PRESSURED Notts County manager Gary Mills received the dreaded évote of confidenceé from his directors this week following his sideés poor performance against Leyton Orient.

The Magpies slipped to their fifth defeat of the season and are without a win at home since being relegated from League One last campaign.

Notts County director Steve Thompson told the Nottingham Evening Post: "Making managerial changes is a very big decision and we continue to back the manager and his ability to turn things round.

"We cannot simply change the manager because things are not going well. That may not be the best solution."

But he added: "If things do not improve there is no question we will have to take action.

"The club simply cannot afford to see crowds going down. We do not have the finances to cope."

County boss Mills is expected to shuffle his pack ahead of Sundayés trip to Moss Rose with Youssef Sofiane and Tony Scully set to return in midfield.

On-loan Coventry midfielder Craig Pead - who was hauled off at half-time last weekend - and Paul Bolland are likely to make way.

Steffen Oakes, Chris Palmer and Ian Richardson remain on the injured list for County, but the Magpies long-suffering supporters seem to have found a new hero in on-loan Aston Villa goalkeeper Wayne Henderson, who has been earning rave reviews.
